    Central Core studio with Pilates Reformer machines.
    Kara S.

    I was so excited to find Central Core in Pismo Beach and meet owner/founder Misha. I've done a lot of Pilates mat exercise videos over the years and love the workout but always wanted to try the Reformer. I've been to several small group classes so far, and they are awesome! First of all, they are very safe. Plenty of distance between each Reformer machine, students and Misha wear masks the entire class, and the windows let in lots of fresh air. And the workouts - amazing! It doesn't matter if you've never done a Reformer workout. Misha is super helpful going through all the steps, and I never felt intimidated as a newby. In a few minutes, you realize that Misha's teaching is deeper than just going through a typical Reformer workout. She tailors each exercise to student's needs, abilities, and limitations. I learned later that she has a strong background in rehab work for a variety of severe injuries -- and has worked with lots of pro athletes, too! Simply put, Misha is a talented teacher and she knows her stuff! As for the workouts, they are challenging, fun, and I'm definitely getting stronger and more limber are the same time. Yeah, I think I'm hooked :). Misha and her other instructor also do several online/virtual classes, like Barre, circuit, Abs fusion, etc. I've taken several of these also and they've been great, too. Central Core also has weekend fitness retreats -- definitely want to try one of those! So yeah! I highly recommend Misha and Central Core! Maybe I'll be on the Reformer next to you at a future class! :)

    Came to Central Core on the recommendation of a health coach to help with some back pain, and just to see what Pilates is all about. Wow! Ended up with so much more. Misha and the other instructors are awesome. The knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for what they do comes out at every session, even at 6am! Love having Central Core, pilates, and TRX as part of my weekly routine now. Back is soooooo much better. Feel stronger and body overall just feels better. I was so amazed with what Misha and Central Core are able to accomplished I now have my 80 year parents coming every week and they are loving it.

    I am so grateful that I found Misha and Central Core! I have been working out here since November and I've gotten so much stronger. I've been telling all my friends about her so it's time I shared with the Yelp community. Misha is an excellent teacher. She is focused on form and always challenging me just beyond what I think I'm capable of, with so much encouragement. Best of all the workouts are different every time so we never get bored. I started bringing my nine-year-old son for weekly workouts as well and he has just as much fun as me. I love seeing his confidence grow!! She's having a open house this Sunday, 4/29 if you've been thinking about trying Pilates - don't be intimidated. Come try it! Sign up through the MINDBODY app or call Misha!

The atmosphere is a tad more laid-back than other crossfit gyms in the area. The owner personally trains the majority of classes, and is always available for, and receptive to, feedback. He has consistently added classes (or opened his gym early) when a demand rises from his clients. Crossfit Grover Beach (CFGB) has multiple trainers. Several of the trainers are former clients, who have received certification and now instruct, in addition to competing at an amateur level in local and national competition. These folks are supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable in fitness, nutrition, and general wellness. CFGB does earn a 4-star rating in my book, due to a negative performance in the 2013 Crossfit Open competition. The trainers did not pay close enough attention to the requirements for a complete movement, and their top athlete was disqualified from the open for this reason. That athlete has proven himself this year, and is on the road to redemption for the entire box' reputation. It was a simple thing, to look at the clarification in the rules, and ensure that all athletes met the requirement, but the company has taken steps to ensure better practices henceforth. :::Edit::: I don't know why my location is posted as "Hanford," I live in Oceano. That is all for this edit.

There are over a dozen tennis and pickleball courts, multiple saunas, a large lap pool with a hot tub as well as a smaller leisure pool with another hot tub. There is a wonderful outdoor patio on the second level which overlooks the courts and pools and has fire pits and lots of seating. Inside you will find a cardio room, weight room, and another lounge area with a pool table and a large seating area with a big fireplace. They offer a full service spa where you can get massages, facials, pedicures/manicures, and hair cuts. Added bonus - if you schedule one of those services you get a free day pass to use all of the amenities at the club without being a member.
